Our campus used to do it where a sorority was matched up with a fraternity each semester. If you took a little sister, you would then have a guy in the "brother" fraternity be your little's big brother. Likewise, all the pledges in the fraternity would get a big sister from the "sister" sorority. There was actually a big/little night party, and you had lots of planned events with your matched sorority/fraternity throughout the semester. It really helped get to know the other groups on campus and there was never any negative connotation about having a big brother, etc. Nowadays, I know that they do it where the Big Sister just picks one of her guy friends to be her little sister's big brother, and the only time during the year where they are matched up with a fraternity is for Greek Week.
